Synchronized Swimming Produces Some of the Greatest, Most Intense Images in All of Sports

The 15th FINA World Championships are currently taking place in Barcelona. (FINA stands for Fédération Internationale de Natation. You do the math.) On Wednesday, the Solo Free final took place. (There is solo synchronized swimming.) These are the best pictures from that competition. Many of them remind me of the message that Kenny Powers tries to convey whenever he makes exaggerated movements that motion towards his junk. The rest are the faces and actions of pure insanity.
